People who barely knew how to turn on their oven started experimenting in the kitchen; others, accustomed to dining out, found themselves food prepping for weeks at a time; and many people with families, partners, or roommates found themselves once again gathering together at meal times. Included in all of its life-altering impacts, the pandemic has changed the way we live at home, including how we utilize our kitchens, home offices, and technology. ?

How Construction Contractions Differ Now Versus During the Great Recession
Builder
During the Great Recession of 2007–09, housing—particularly single-family home building—was at the epicenter of economic distress.
